You know I'm ready, and I rock steady
my names not Betty or Teddy, but Nick
and I'm not a hick with a head tick
though I am from Nebraska
my girl is satisfied, you can ask her
you know I never visited Alaska
huh, where the oil was spilt
that drunken captain should be killed
for polluting the sea, an atrocity
that fucks with me, well
this one goes to all the birds that drowned
fuck the bullshit, its time to throw down

Fuck the bullshit, its time to throw down
fuck the bullshit, its time to throw down
fuck the bullshit, its time to throw down

Just fuck the bullshit, and get with it
its time to throw down, so I said it
words of wisdom, that'll keep y'all guessing
cause I'm tired of playing and I'm tired of messin' around
with all y'all suckers, and stupid mother fuckers
who put down what I do
I stand alone with a groove that's new
now that you know that the rhymes that I say
are mine alone and I sure you don't play
I kick in your teeth, the condescending frown
fuck the bullshit, its time to throw down

Fuck the bullshit, its time to throw down
fuck the bullshit, its time to throw down

Right about now Id like to turn over the mic
to my mentor SA Martinez

Go on hold it, I'm poetry in motion
no jokin you pray, my word is spoken
of the latest, the greatest, of hip-hop persuaders
the line, the rhyme, always amazes brothers
the mic drum is loomin',
and in your mind, my rap rhyme is bloomin' like a flower

Fuck the bullshit SA, create the power

Just forget the dumb stuff, I call your bluff
cause I'm a big stick and you're a cream puff
and you hate it, and get frustrated
no tellin' just how long you waited
I tell you what
I'm a white boy, so I don't like the big butt
and, I got a plan, hand it to the man in the tan van
I would be perfectly sad if rap was a fad
but its not, so I thought that I'd give it a shot
stupid dumb lyrics make you think I'm a clown
I don't give a damn, its time to throw down

Fuck the bullshit, its time to throw down
fuck the bullshit, its time to throw down
fuck the bullshit, its time to throw down
fuck the bullshit, its time to throw down

General Commentto me, this song basically says that you have to stay positive no matter what, but there are some issues that require more attention. like if someone is just a dick to you one day, then don't worry about it. but when some jackass wrecks an oil liner and kills thousands of harmless animals, then someone needs to stand up and say something, even those who are usually more passive.

General Commentthi song seems to be the band letting out some pent up frustration. 311 has historically been comitted to non violence and peace and all that, but i think that they have come to the conclusion that its not all good, that pot and sunshine wont solve everything. the fact that this song is not even official(its a "secret" song) shows that it isnt a message that the band doesnt always want to be associated with, but that it still needs to be heard.

General Commenti think this song means don't worry bout the small stuff. Just get on with it. For some reson thats always what it has meant to me. If you want to download this version serach for the one on the cd "Dammit"
